THE AWAKENING
Montpellier and the Bazille
In the heart of Languedoc, Montpellier owes its fame to its Faculty of Medicine and the prestigious collections of its museum. Superb houses, mostly built in the 17th and 18th centuries, evoke its long past of prosperity, art and culture. But it is undoubtedly in the Grand'rue that their testimony is the most evident. Behind their thick walls, their heavy carriage doors and their high windows, the old hotels that border it shelter the secrets of the refined and wealthy families that have lived there for many generations. Let's stop at n° 11 in front of the Hôtel Périer, one of the most beautiful old houses in the city : it was here that, on December 6, 1841, at 9 o'clock in the evening, Jean Frédéric Bazille was born [Daulte, 1952, p. 7, dates Bazille's birth to December 5, 1841].

Slowly, but surely, Haitian musicians have been surging on the international music scene. Witness the Fugees, Eddy Proph�te, Ginou Oriol, Evald Manigat, to name but a few. There is an important new name to be noticed: Harold Faustin and his sextet. And folks, this is serious business. A warning though. If you are not into jazz, this is not for you. Harold Faustin is a wonderful guitarist in the tradition of Charlie Christian, Jim Hall, Joe Pass. His play is fluid. Even though he started late as a musician, at 24, he certainly sounds like a veteran. As all guitarists, he listened to a lot to Wes Montgomery, but I hear a lot of Charlie Christian and Joe Pass in his playing. Even though he produced a CD in 1993, I had never heard of him until now. Except for one Miles Davis tune, all the other five compositions were written by him, which makes him a composer in his own right, and a pretty good one too. . The music was recorded live in 1996 and only issued on CD this year. This is a swinging album in the tradition of Dizzy Gillespie's Be Bop : fast, full of life and excellent solos. Faustin did not forget his roots while playing jazz. The third tune "Miroir" is a beautiful melody played on a Haitian folkloric beat. Listen in the introduction to the intricate musical interplay b
